Foyer or Entrance

The decorating for the Holidays is progressing.  I just didn't have time to take any new pictures today.  The blue tree is done.  I changed the top and added the beads today.  Not sure what pictures I have saved for this bog.  This is the entry way inside the house. 

 
I bought this candle holder at an Estate sale for $5.00.  It holds 15 votive candles.  It didn't look quite right just sitting there by itself, so I bought a plain green wreath, and using my glue gun, added holly berries to it and some silver looking icicles to it.  Remember to fluff all greenery that you buy that is made to look like pine.  Usually they are pretty flat.  all I do it straighten the branches and fluff the needles.  This sits to the left as you walk in the door
 
 
 
 
On the right is a niche that always has a mirror in it.  The candle sticks were a gift years ago.  However, the bowls that are sitting in the candlesticks are from my mother.  I remember them from the 50's.  I have pearls and red glass balls in them.  I will do close ups so you can see these better.  I have never seen them anywhere in all the years I have shopped.  The little reindeer have been collected since the 70's. and the wreath is from the 8's.  If you take care of things and pack them properly, you will have your things for a very long time.
 
It ornaments are wrapped individually in either tissue or in dryer sheets, they stay clean.  Dryer sheets do a very good job and literally cost nothing if you save them after each load.
 
Do you have any hints?  If so, please let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!
